 ### Channel Control
 
-- `channel <int>` sets the channel currently being controlled.
+- `channel <int> [{ <commands> }]` (abbr. `c`) sets the channel currently being controlled, or executes the given commands on the given channel.
 
-- `octave <int>` sets the octave, between 0 and 8, to which simple and relative note values will be played.
+- `octave <int>` (abbr. `v`) sets the octave, between 0 and 8, to which simple and relative note values will be played.
 
 - `bpm <natural>` sets the tempo of the channel. This is the time used by the time value `beat` and by the `play` instruction.
